Almost all the examples in the gallery was made using their proprietary cloud, and the limitations of the opensource version is unclear.

The people behind the fund are one of the driving forces behind opensource in India with a huge community. They've already disbursed funds to other major projects like ffmpeg ($100K), ntp ($60K), openssl ($100K), etc.

Author is just being silly.

New comment by logicziller in "An opinionated critique of Duolingo"

logicziller — Wed, 01 Oct 2025 11:07:23 +0000

Having no prior exposure to any European languages, I tried using it for learning a bit of German, just to be able to sing along with some songs while also understanding what the words mean. I learned about 1500 words, but about a year later I watched a language training video and it became obvious to me that I have been pronouncing S, Z, and ß all wrong this whole time and made the wrong pronunciation a habit that I'm having difficult breaking. It taught me nothing about the alphabets and how the combination of certain letters or their position in a word can change the sound. Clicking through the words and advancing to the next level probably made me go too fast without giving me enough time to really absorb it. If I repeat a test, it's the same questions being repeated so it kind of feels like rote-learning than actually giving me an opportunity to reflect on the mistakes.

It also allows you to skip through the audio and speech tests, so these shortcuts make you chase XPs rather than actually learn the language you originally set out to learn. My biggest pet peeve about this app is that I have absolutely no idea if I'm pronouncing words correctly. Even if I intentionally pronounce a word wrong, it'll tell me it's correct.

I wouldn't say I learned nothing from it. After all, there is nobody I can speak with, so Duolingo made something impossible, possible for me, but it hasn't made me conversational at all. If I watch a German movie or a TV show, I can understand a little bit by looking at the subtitles, but the audio seems to go way too fast for me that I pick up just 1 or 2 words from a sentence. I'd imagine if someone asks me a basic question really slowly, I might be able to answer it, but if I'm in a group or something, words will just fly by too quickly for me to be able to comprehend anything.

One thing it did is make me motivated. After learning so many words, it made me pursue training courses by professional language teachers, and eventually I will join an actual classroom. I don't think I'd have gone all the way if I hadn't got my first start with this app. After all, my original motivation to learn was just cultural / music, and not because I want to move there or that it'll help professionally, but after having coming this far, it made me think I should pursue learning more seriously and become fluent.

I've often wondered why there are so many people who want X to just die and will dismiss any criticism against Wayland. They sure do like shifting the blame elsewhere instead of acknowledging that some users do have issues running their applications.

Just yesterday I checked again if anything's changed, but nope. Jitsi Meet flickers, gr-fospher flickers and doesn't even render the plot, Emacs Application Framework doesn't work, etc. All these work perfectly fine with X.

Or just set `IdentityFile` with the path to the key and set `IdentitiesOnly` to yes for the specific host you connect to, and disable public key authentication by default for everything else.

The UX looks quite decent, but I think it should also have an indicator next to each commit to show whether it was already pushed or not so you can avoid doing a force push.

New comment by logicziller in "WireGuard: Beyond the most basic configuration"

logicziller — Mon, 25 Nov 2024 03:24:03 +0000

One that I could not get to work properly with Wireguard is port-forwarding without masquerading.

I need the source IP to remain intact, but unless I add 0.0.0.0/0 to the AllowedIPs, the Wireguard peer will drop the packet. If I do add 0.0.0.0/0 to AllowedIPs then it adds a route which prevents the response from my application to go back to the source.

Eventually gave up on it. Nobody had a clue how to fix this or what actually needs to be in the nft or firewalld rules for this to actually work properly.

New comment by logicziller in "Typing fast is not so important"

logicziller — Thu, 31 Oct 2024 04:16:04 +0000

I've been writing code for almost 30 years. I don't touch-type and don't use all fingers, but still manage 125wpm and can type without looking at the keyboard. I've not put any additional time just to learn to type, it just happens over the years.

I find it very useful that I can quickly have my ideas flow from my mind into the screen.

logicziller — Sun, 20 Oct 2024 12:07:01 +0000

Even if Mozilla retired the service, they should've at least kept the repository active so people can send patches.

I find this applications like this very useful to self-host. Sometimes I need to send someone a file quickly and this can come in handy. I don't need to allow uploads from everyone and I can just whitelist IPs for the upload URL.

At present I'm using Project Send.

New comment by logicziller in "Source-Available Is Meaningless"

logicziller — Wed, 09 Oct 2024 15:43:22 +0000

Source Available means exactly what it says, and I don't need to look up a definition somewhere. From what I understand, I can view the source code and verify that a software does what it claims and does not have some hidden nastiness.

What the hell does "Fair Source" even imply? Fair to whom, the author or the users? Stop with the bullshit already.
